Migrating from AppCfg to gcloud Command Line

AppCfg was a utility command that was included in the App Engine SDK.

To help you replace your use of AppCfg commands with gcloud commands from the gcloud CLI, see the following table:

appcfg command gcloud command line
download_app You can no longer download source files, but you can view them from the Google Cloud console Versions page by selecting Source in the Diagnose column.
request_logs gcloud app logs read or view and route logs with the Logs Explorer
rollback No longer supported or necessary
start_module_version gcloud app versions start
stop_module_version gcloud app versions stop
update For Python and PHP apps:
gcloud app deploy

For Java 8 apps, build the app first. Then deploy with:
gcloud app deploy WEB-INF/appengine.xml

For Java 11 apps, you can deploy the source code to the Java 11 runtime without building locally:
gcloud app deploy pom.xml

To deploy a Java fatjar to the Java 11 runtime:
gcloud app deploy myapp.jar

You can also use the gcloud CLI-based Maven or Gradle plugins to build and deploy Java 8 and Java 11 apps.

update_indexes gcloud app deploy indexes.yaml
or

If you need help translating the XML files to equivalent YAML files, you can use:

gcloud beta app migrate-config cron-xml-to-yaml MY-CRON-XML-FILE.xml
gcloud beta app migrate-config datastore-indexes-xml-to-yaml MY-INDEX-XML-FILE.xml
gcloud beta app migrate-config dispatch-xml-to-yaml MY-DISPATCH-XML-FILE.xml gcloud beta app migrate-config queue-xml-to-yaml MY-QUEUE-XML-FILE.xml
